HELP ASAP, thanks :)
My salesman said that my order might get delayed because I changed something..
If I change my order two weeks before planned prod, will BMW reschedule my production and delay it? I changed seats to non electric, If that matters in this issue. and also worth mentioning, its has status 105 like all other orders in Sweden and BMW sweden forwards the orders manually(?) is there an issue in the factory here or? HELP PLS, BEEN WAITING TWO YEARS NOW AND I ORDERED 14TH OCT |

When you receive a production date, that is the date your car is supposed to be finished being built, NOT when it starts.
Usually it takes two weeks from start to finish for a build. So yes, if you changed it last minute, there's a very high likelihood your car had already started production and now they need to find a new allocation slot to build your modified order. At the rate things are going, you'll be pushed to a MY17. |

This. A bird in the hand. This is another reason I chose not to wait too.

I've had cars delayed after a change of interior color (stock option, not individual) just because BMW didn't have inventory at that specific date. |

I tried calling bmw NA also and they said they could not change anything, has to go thru the CA. You have any other recommendations? We are simply trying to change the color, nothing else. Car is in status 112 until week 18 for production to start. Which is about week and half, then will be in 150.

I just don't understand with the limited color/packages/transmission options why there would be a denial to change your build. |

I was just pointing out that a simple change CAN delay your build if you are unlucky as that was the question in the OP.

But call the new car sales manager. Send emails all day long requesting a color change. Let him know the situation. You have a vehicle in status 112 and all you want to do is change the color. It literally will take him 5 mins to complete |

They said cannot change once 112. Which I know is BS because I have heard 150 from numerous sources.

But then again. Do you want to purchase a vehicle from them if they are ignoring such a simple request? |
